    1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, Come here; I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters:

    2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

    3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

    4 And the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication:

    5 And on her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

    6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus; and when I saw her, I marveled with great wonder.

    7 And the angel said to me, Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.

    8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to destruction: and those who dwell on the earth shall marvel, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

    9 Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

    10 And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short time.

    11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes to destruction.

    12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.

    13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.

    14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.
